     HONORING FEDERAL GLOVER, FORMER CONTRA COSTA COUNTY SUPERVISOR

  (Mr. DeSAULNIER asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DeSAULNIER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor a good friend and 
a great political and community leader in my community and in the bay 
area in San Francisco, California, former Contra Costa County 
Supervisor Federal Glover, who passed away on Sunday after a 
distinguished life of service to his community and his country.
  Born in Pittsburg, California, Federal served as a city council 
member and mayor of the city of Pittsburg before becoming the first 
African American to serve on the Contra Costa County Board of 
Supervisors in the east bay.
  I was lucky to serve alongside Federal on the county board for 6 of 
his 20 years. He supported efforts to expand job opportunities, create 
the board of supervisors' public protection committee, and he was an 
instrumental leader on regional transportation in a transformative 
period of time in northern California and the bay area.
  Federal was a good man, a good friend, and I will miss him very, very 
much.
  I wish Federal good luck, and I hope I will see him again in the 
future.
